First off, this ain't Athens or a Democracy, earmuffs is entitled to make whatever he wants. Secondly, yeah his map sucks so far, if you want to make one than do it. Thirdly, if you are going to make an independent map then I would suggest either google maps OR a much larger blank map so you can zoom better, preferably one that separates states (the US is a big place, most European countries are about the same size of an average US State.)

EDIT: You posted again before I could, but I agree google maps was much better.
